This is the big hole in his game. I think he will improve here

He is a good passer, ok handles and runs the offense well. Hopefully that improvement takes place with BYU. Not sure he is NBA material, but would love for him to make that happen.

Hmmm...reading between the lines. Does this mean Hall wasn't a fan of our...

Maybe it explains why Kentucky isn't on his list.

I wouldn't read that into it necessarily.

Hall needs to learn to finish at the rim to play in the NBA. A system won't do

FT's are one of the most "improveable" things in Bball, next to "effort," which

Nice to have, think his finishing at rim ability is a game changer

Dr T-bone

Hall is really good but also needs to be more than just spot up 3 pt shooter

coug10278

Apr 15, 2:35pm

He actually gets to the rim well enough as a college player but once he gets

Charles Darwin

Apr 15, 2:37pm

Bingo...also needs to be able to shoot off the bounce...

icecougar

Apr 15, 2:38pm

That's not really the stuff you expect an RM sophomore to have in his game yet tho

Richie added it to his game this past off-season...

icecougar

Apr 15, 5:59pm

It takes players different lengths of time to develop parts of their game

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 6:28pm

there are parts of the "finishing at the rim" skill that you can work on...

icecougar

Apr 15, 7:41pm

That's fair but Dallin seems to have a touch problem more than anything

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 7:53pm

They’ll have to watch UK games to learn from Richie

What player ISN’T looking for that?

provoprodigy

Utah and Utah State?!?!

I like Hall but he isn't NBA talent

mudpupper

Apr 15, 2:35pm

Yeah no. Respect to hall but no

Don Carlton

Apr 15, 2:39pm

Hall needs a system and a coach that it won’t matter if he misses the front end of 1 & 1’s

Blue2thebone

Apr 15, 4:47pm

Creighton seems to fit those criteria and culture too

CLCougar

Apr 15, 2:36pm

great coaching and they have a healthy NIL program. They are problematic...

No, reading too much into it

I live in a community near the Hall's and while I've never heard it

CameronG

Hopefully he comes back but better shot creation and FTs need huge improvement

coug10278

Apr 15, 2:49pm

Held him back? Didn’t he play like 35 mins a game lol. He had the green light

ChiCityCoug

Apr 15, 2:59pm

No. Otherwise he wouldn't include returning to BYU on his list of possibilities.

cougarfan84

Apr 15, 2:50pm

sure he would, we're going to have a new coach and system..

icecougar

Apr 15, 2:53pm

Maybe he wasn't a fan. Maybe he was. But I don't think there was any way to tell

cougarfan84

so....BYU?

Time to discuss the elephant in the room

Dallin is a good guard, but some of the great guards in the league won’t even

its not a bad thing to say though, like going into an interview sometimes you've

cwilke1

Apr 15, 3:09pm

Right. And what guy playing high level sports isn’t going to dream of doing it

ChiCityCoug

Apr 15, 3:18pm

I believe we should allow Dallin to prove NBA or not. No one knows at this time

Bluforever

Apr 15, 4:54pm

Going out on a limb here….doubt dallin makes his decision based on what CB says

kansascougar

Apr 15, 5:20pm

Yet you still wanted to criticize him. Hoping Hall never reads CB.

Posts like these don’t help.

You realize there are leagues other than the NBA right?

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 5:16pm

You do realize the tweet said NBA, correct? Did I say anything besides the NBA?

kansascougar

Apr 15, 5:19pm

Yes you did say something other than NBA lol

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 5:19pm

Really? “You don’t have NBA talent”? Is English not your first language?

kansascougar

Apr 15, 5:24pm

You implied he has no future career in basketball

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 5:25pm

Whatever. Are you a mind reader? What am I thinking about you right now?

kansascougar

Apr 15, 5:26pm

No I'm just not dumb

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 5:32pm

See, you really can read minds

kansascougar

Apr 15, 5:35pm

You seem pretty upset. Perhaps I was right all along

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 6:31pm

No, he can probably play overseas but not in the NBA. I hope he succeeds

kansascougar

Apr 15, 7:37pm

could also mean that he likes BYU's system and isn't anxious to leave it.

Cougarclaw

Apr 15, 3:14pm

Good point. Bill Self described BYU's system as an NBA style of play.

BackPacker

I want him to stay at BYU. My vote is Clemson if he leaves.

No lol.

He had a lot to do with beating Kansas.

Should probably stop dribbling the ball of his knee in clutch time...

the offense was a guards dream... Shooting the 3 like crazy...

Play in the NBA? He would be lucky to play over seas.

Hall is important to this BYU team.
